:yeah: yes! it's a good idea... but... do I have to say my age? :(

ok, Here I go... my name's Daniela, I'm from Buenos Aires, Argentina and I'm 21... please tell me I'm not the oldest also here! I love sports, music, reading... and I hate studying (does anyone like it?) but I did went to college and I have a bachelor degree in hotel management, and something I really like is languages, I speak spanish (of course) english, and italian... I do understand french but my pronunciation is really bad...
and if any of you comes to Argentina some day... please let me know, I'd be happy to meet any of you in person! :wavey:

Hello!
Nice to get to know you all better.
My name's Dina and I'm from Russia.I'm gonna to be 18 in a week and I love tennis very much,both watching and playing.
I also like languages, especially English.Now I'm studying in the university ang going to become an interpreter.
I prefer men's tennis to wonem's one and my favourite players are Coria, Roddick, Gasquet and Safin, of course.

tennisgirl19

05-28-2005, 08:55 PM

Happy Early Birthday Dina!! Hello to everyone also!

My name is Sinead and I'm from New York City. I am 16 years old and go to an all girls Catholic high school. I love tennis(mostly watching since I play terribly) and could spend hours just watching it on TV. I really only speak English, but I've taken Spanish for three years so I could get by, and I am planning to take French next year.
Besides Richard, I love Andy, the Spaniards (Rafael, Carlos, Juan Carlos, Feliciano, David, Tommy, Fernando etc.), Andre, Marat, Roger,Mario, and so many others :cool:
I do prefer men's tennis because I find the game, itself, to be more interesting and exciting. However, I do watch loads of women's tennis.

And on the subject of 'introducitons' my name is Liz and I'm from Australia...Melbourne to be exact...I feel like somewhat of a Richie veteran :lol: ...I've been a fan of his since early 2002 and haven't looked back since. My other favourite players are Verdasco and Paulo Mathieu as well as the other ones in my signature. I also run the Richard Gasquet Online (http://www.freewebs.com/richard-gasquet) website...so go visit :banana:

Hey everyone...

I'm Siobhan, 17 years old (its my birthday in 11 days :woohoo: ) and i've played tennis for 13 years! I'v watched it for about 5 years and my first tennis player love was Lindsay Davenport. As you can see in my sig...i have many favourite players especially the swedes!!! I'v like Richard since the beg of may...im a new fan :o (but i did see him play doubles with grosjean last year at queens...so hes not totally new to me ;)) it was great because i got to meet him and watch him practice at the FO this year, hes a very nice guy :D I'm doing my final school exams at the moment and in September im going to uni :yeah:

I'l shut up now ;) :bigwave:

Sorry, Liz that I didn't say it was me. I thought you knew, lol.(Maybe I thought I mentioned it in one of the emials) Opps, sorry about that. I feel so horrible now for thinking you knew. My apologies. And don't worry about not emailing me back, its no biggie!

05-30-2005, 10:21 AM

Well ok... I'm Jean, 22 (see Daniela - you're not the oldest lol) and live in Auckland, New Zealand. Fairly new fan to tennis, I mainly just watch because I play horribly! (although I'm not sure you could call what I play tennis, it's mainly for a bit of fun and to keep fit). It's hard being a tennis fan because we suffer from a severe lack of tennis coverage. I'm an even newer fan to Richard's tennis (but I've seen him name brandied around over the last few years) - all Sinéad's commitment and dedicated-ness (yeah, I know that's not a word) has rubbed off on me lol.

I've got a Bachelor of Arts in French and management so theoritically I should be able to speak French but my speaking and listening abilities aren't as strong as I'd like and I did a few years of Spanish so I know and itty bitty bit.

Other players I like... Andy, the Spanish Armada, Mario, Marat, Gonzo - and the list can go on lol. And while on the topic of birthdays, mine's not till September so a few months yet...

05-30-2005, 11:07 AM

Maybe I should introduce myself too. :lol: I'm from Singapore and I've been a fan since I saw him play against Gaudio at the Paris TMS in the 1st round. He lost that one 1-6 7-6 6-4 (I think) after having a MP or two but I was impressed by his game and started following his results.

I've been learning French for four years. My comprehension skills are OK but my oral skills are horrid. :tape: I'm taking my DELF A3 in a week. :scared:

Good luck for you DELF Silverwhite!
I am from South of France (Languedoc actually ;) ).
I like playing and watching tennis... It's my favorite sport by far. My fav players are Paul-Henri Mathieu, Richard Gasquet of course, Tim Henman, Marat Safin, Roger Federer, Seb Grosjean.
:wavey:
South France?? are you near provence???
i read a book about Provence, i know that's a very very nice place ;) ;)

:bounce: I'm not the oldest!
and I shouldn't worry about that because I have a birthday every 4 years (I was born on February 29, 1984...I'm 5!!!)
Ok, this does not make me feel better, I was born in 82! lol

Btw, very cute picture of 'Le Petit Prince' (I was reading it today between breaks at work)

Sharing the same birthday as Rafael? Way cool!! That brings up another question do you share your birthday with any famous tennis player?? lol

I'm with Sjeng Schalken, Juilen Varlet, and Elena Likhovtseva.

Btw, Siobhan since your 9 days before Richard then your 6 days after Rafael's. I hope I caculated that correctly*(as you can tell I'm bored)

No, Jean don't say your "captivated" by all things French. It was just Richard and his hair. Don't make excuses saying it was his style of play or that he was French. Be honest and admit it was the hair, lol :haha: Or maybe his deep secret love for the Spanish Armada(remember that quote I showed you awhile ago, lol).

I love Lindsay I was really hoping she would of won the whole thing. I always root for her. But that's another topic, lol

And your right June is soo popular. And I always thought April was a popular month for birthdays I guess its June lol

Hi everyone :wavey:

I should introduce myself! ;) My name is Jen, I live in Florida and love tennis. I've been playing since I was four or five, and continue to do so. (I'm 14 now.) My aspirations are to be a professional but I, of course, have a long way to go. I became a Gasquet fan early in the claycourt season when one of our local T.V. channels showed highlights from Monte Carlo. :)

Good luck to Richard throughout the year. :yeah:

tennisgirl19

06-10-2005, 01:37 AM

hey, jen!!! Where did you see the highlights from Monte Carlo?? Did you see it on the ATP Tennis show or at 3:30 am on ESPN2? Ugh, never mind you said a local station oops!!

Great to have another Richie fan from the US. Not that many people know him here(well here people don't even know who Roger Federer is, but that's another topic).

I used to play tennis in my 'far-away-childhood' (I'm 17 now), but I gave it up... now I regret it soooooo much! if only my parents were tougher then and made me stay! uhhh.... now I wanna take it up again. still when I see someone of my age playing tennis in these serious championships (I mean, someone like Maria Sharapova:) I can't help thinking that I could have also been there... in front of the cheering audience... ahh, the game, every tennis move, every step and the sound of bouncing ball nearly makes me cry! Still I can play it as an amateur sportsman, but I missed such a chance! I could meet :angel: Richy :angel: .... :rolleyes: ~~ahhh dreams, dreams :angel: ~~~

Okay, so after months of reading this board, I've decided I should post here.
I've been kind of obsessing over Richard since he won in Monte-Carlo against Federer, but with all the attention he got this year at the French Open, I thought I would leave him alone a bit.
But then, grass season came and... well, you know what happened. His game just suits the surface perfectly. Not to mention that he's got a lot of confidence and that his ranking is higher than it has ever been. Can't wait to see how far he'll go in Wimbledon !
I'm also looking forward to see him play on hard courts this summer. He won the US Open juniors in 2002, so I'm guessing he is also very talented on this surface. He's like, our new Federer :cool:

Oh no, I don't speak a word of French.. I meant the French Musketeers board and then Richie's thread on it. Sorry for not making myself clear :cool:

Hello everyone, I'm new here too. Well, like many of you I registered here some time ago but never post before. My name is gaelle, I'm 24 and I was a student until few days ago
My favourite players are Roger Federer and our little richie, but I like many other players. There's just a few that I dislike. I basically prefer cheering for than cheering against.
I start following richie in 2002, when I saw him playing Squillacci in the first round in monte carlo. His style of play was already great even if he was just 15 and he remind me of Federer. And he seemed so shy: at the end of the match, he just barely raise his arm and went back to his chair while every one was cheering for him. It was difficult not to like him. He mature a lot since then, but I still have this picture of him in my mind.
So that's me. I look forward to discussing with all of you (I already know you a little bit since I'm reading your post since some time)...

Hi *julie* and Silverwhite, you both can call me gaelle (I don't know what was I thinking by calling me plassais when I first register),
Hey *julie* I realise I didn't express myself well (my english is crappy): I wasn't in monte carlo in 2002, I was simply sitting in front of my TV, but still it was great. It may sound stupid, but can someone tell me how to post smilies in the text ?

delsa

09-25-2005, 02:40 PM

Bienvenue chez toi Gaëlle! :wavey:

Make sure the 'disable smilies in text' option is not selected and just click on them in the smilies box (or type their symbols)... ;)

My english is crappy too, don't worry (I even don't really know what crappy means "à chier?" :confused: )
It's easy to put smilies. Just look on the right of the text... ;)

Hi Im new here too. Cept i have been reading the threads for awhile, but only decided to join when the board i usually post to was down. I am 15 (turning 16) I like tennis. Ive always known who Richard was ever since Monte Carlo, but didnt really care. Then lately I became interested. My other favorite players are Andy Roddick, Marat Safin, Rafael Nadal, Juan Carlos Ferrero, Arnuad Clement, Gael Monfils, Tommy Robredo, Paul-Henri Mathieu, Carlos Moya, and a bunch of others but i wont bore you.

*julie*, yes crappy mean "à chier"
There's must be something wrong with me, but the "disable smilies in text" option is not selected and still the smilies won't appear. Oh well, I'm sure I'm gonna work it out soon.

Oh yeah, I guess I never introduced myself :)

Anyway, my name's Terence and I live near Washington DC... Since I am half French (but don't speak a word of the language) I follow almost all of the French players.

I actually started following Richard in 2002 because his last name is very similar to my mom's last name (which is Druguet - strange reason I know) but I also found that he has a very nice game to watch, so now I would say he is tied with Federer as my favorite player.

Thnx for the video of andy!! terence who are other players u like?

Richard, Roger and Guga I would say are my top three, also I would say almost all of the other French players and most of the Spaniards. Then there are many other random players who I enjoy. I can at least appreciate the game of most players, there are not many that I dislike.

Hi Rachelzszs

Most people tell me to shutup!! This is a novelty for me. But then you'll learn better in a short time.

Did any else see the new rules about drug monitering from the IFT? They sound really nutty. Dont know how to supply the link, but I saw it
